2000 pt mechanized list -- possible tourney choice
Generated a completely mechanized list derived from Brother Caesarian's 1850 "Holy Rollers" and wanted to know what you guys think.
HQ - GM w/ m-c nfw, icon, incense, grimoire, hood & hammerhand
Ret: 4 GKT's (1 'cinnie, 1 TH/SS)
TR - 7 x PAGK (1 'cinnie)
TR - 7 x PAGK (1 'cinnie)
TR - 5 x IST (2 melta guns)
Rhino w/ ea & sl
TR - 5 x IST (2 melta guns)
Rhino w/ ea & sl
HS - LR w/ ea & sl
HS - LR w/ ea & sl
HS - LR w/ ea & sl
I still have 116 pts to play with so several options possible:
a) add 4 more PAGKs to make 9-man squads
b) add 10 more ISTs to make 10-man squads
c) add 2 PAGKs and 6 IST to make them all 8-man squads
d) OR, add an EL Inq w/ art. armor, TH and SS; plus add 1 PAGK and 2 ISTs
(Inq will join w/ the 7-man PAGK squad)
Thoughts?

I like the 8-man idea as well. Or add a few more IST and use Chimeras instead of Rhinos.

You read my mind and beat me to it NF
I'll swap the rhinos for standard chimeras and I still have enough to add 4 more IST. This gives me 7-man squads all around and 12 more 36" range shots. Plus I can fire both meltas from the chimeras' firepoints vice only 1 from the rhinos.
I'm actually liking this list for GT in Nov. I thinks it's more competitive vs all-comers plus gives me more scoring units.
Side benefit - it's also more colorful on the tabletop for the painting competition
Not sure if I can score max comp points again but from the opinions I got from the last tourney, I don't think it'll change much. Several players there asked me why I wasn't running 3 raiders
While I really prefer playing an all GK list, this one I think might be more practical in a GT.

In any really competitive list with 3 land raiders, I like to have the El Inq with tarot. He's super cheap, is extra wounds for a squad, and getting first turn is almost necessary versus tau or guard to pop smoke.

Going first will definitely help with this build. Although, in some missions, I'd rather have the last turn for last minute objective grabs or what not. I guess I'll just have to rely on terrain if possible when going second

Well don't forget if you win the roll you can still choose to go second.
And of course, theres LR stacking. You can put one LR Sideways, , and put the other two behind it, facing forward to give them a cover save. Careful angling can also put the chimeras in the middle of this too, or you could just have two LR in front. Regardless, this method leaves only 1 of your tanks open to shooting, gives 2 LR a cover save, and makes the little ones out of LOS, while allowing you to deploy against your forward line and not worry about cover. While it may not seem natural to drive a LR across the board sideways, i remind myself to do it any my other units thank me!

About the sideways driving, it's also the best you can do with rhino's as they have the same armour value at the side and if they do get wrecked or immobilised, then you are another few inches closer or have a big chunk of cover to hide behind.
